I purchased the following items

5lb gas bottle
Aubuchon Hardware $59.99

Standard Replacement Regulator w 1.5 foot hose
Home Depot $19.97

3/8 Brass Union
Home Depot $3.11


I removed the old regulator from the gas assist line into the bowl of the kettle. I purchased a new standard LP replacement regulator and connected it to the old line where the old regulator was with a brass union. This allowed me to connect the new tank to the old Gas Assist line

Works perfect. I contemplated retrofitting to a modern 2lb despicable can but it was more work. Wanted to keep it as original as possible 

See attached pictures.
